Dogs Heart Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite
Yosemite Pet-Friendly Lodging and Vacation Packages
Dogs that get boarded end up bored. They deserve better, don’t they? Vacations take time and when your dog – or dogs – can't go with you, it's off to a pet day care. Luckily, these valued members of your “pack” are welcome at Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite. So skip the kennel and come let your furry friend ramble around in the great outdoors.
Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite’s unique Fido Friendly Package includes a plush dog bed and water bowl for use during your stay, and a canine fact sheet with fun suggestions on pet-friendly areas to roam, as well as doggy dos and don’ts during your stay. Plus, complimentary doggie treats for special wags and rewards.
Or if only the royal treatment will do, it may be the Deluxe Pampered Pet Package you seek. For just $30 more, along with everything mentioned above, this package provides your BFFF (Best Furry Friend Forever) with a gourmet dog bone with oats and honey baked fresh by our Executive Chef. You also get to take the recipe home with you. And perhaps most importantly, this package comes with pet-sitting time, so you can enjoy a romantic dinner or relaxing spa time.
No matter which one you choose, both provide everything necessary for an unforgettable. Click here to learn more about Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite's Pet Friendly Vacation Packages.
